Blacked out Pony emblem...help me decide
A few days ago, I bought Foncarelli's old Pony emblem so I could paint it and save my original. Went with flat back and a couple coats of clear. You can't see it very well in the pics, but it's a lot more visible in person. Still kinda stealthy lookin', but I'm not sure about it. Any comments?
Sorry for the huge-*** pics, but it's the only way I could get it to somewhat show up...
Thanks again for the emblem, Foncarelli.

Yeah I like the black emblem a lot. I painted mine black and haven't put it back on yet to see how it looks. I say keep it black but maybe put a yellow outline around it or something if you want to include the yellow.

Here ya go bro. Its a quick photoshop, and the yellow is off a bit but you can get an idea of what it would look like yellow. I do like the black alot, and the yellow isn't bad. I think some kind of yellow accents on the black pony would be cool, but not sure how you could do it.

Thanks for the 'chop...I like the look of the yellow...might have to do that. I'll keep it black for now and see what happens.
Foncarelli, did you just decide to not go with black emblems or didn't like how they looked?

I did the same thing to my emblem just before winter and it looks a million times better as far as I'm concerned. I'm trying to stick to the DSG and black and the chrome emblem just stood out way too much. I was real nervous I wouldn't like it and only tried it since I had an extra emblem but I haven't changed it ever since I put the black one on. Also, it looks a ton better in person than it does in pictures.

Hey charcoalGT, VERY nice ride you have there!!! Your's seems to show up better in pics. I like the way it looks on yours. The more i look at mine the more I like it. I think a yellow one might be too much. I like the subdued look of the black pony.

Thing is, you cant, considering that hood you have would act as a "ram air" supposedly. Not even the shaker scoops add that much power.

dude, did u see how big the air inlets are in my hood? Easily twice the amount as the mach1's hood so stop talkin like you knw your stuff. i felt the difference right away. it was like a tiny 25 shot, but thats nothin to my 100 shot. 5.slow's hate when I spray them. haha. o well sucks for their slow self. i see why they get mad the equation shouldn't be 3.8 > 5.0 cuz thats just bad math. o well.
and when my dad dyno'd it after the hood was put in, he got a cold air blower and put it right up to the hood scoop to simulate real air goin in and voila..25 hp.

Oh wait you said you got your car dynoed........lets see the charts...not to mention that if it was on a dyno and got a 25 hp gain thats total BS considering you'd have to be moving to get any improvement of air flow

I was checking out your profile and i see your are in Detroit. It also says that your dad owns a shop where your mods were done. Can i come by and check you guys out. You can prove all of these guys wrong. Let me know.

Matt - I am with you on the rice comment for sure! All the car needs now is the double decker spoiler on the back!!

"FiveOHkilla:"
1.) I would like to see the dyno graph of the 25HP gain with this new hood
2.) I would like to see the graph of 10 HP gain you said you got after using seafoam. Shouldnt be a problem since you get it dynoed after everything, right??
3.) I would love to see your engine pictures of the "ram air" and just your engine in general.
By the way, is it V-TECH??????
